After the Indian women’s team brought home a silver from the Asia Rugby Women’s Sevens Trophy in Laos, the men will compete in Doha starting tomorrow.
The Indian Rugby Football Union (IRFU) shortlisted 12 players during the Federation Cup Rugby Sevens Championship in Bhubaneshwar, India, in January this year.
Post the tournament, the training and selection camp was held in Delhi over two weeks, and the team will now arrive in the Qatari capital today.
Rugby India secretary general Mahesh Mathai said, “Recently the Indian women’s rugby team shined at the Asia Women’s rugby Sevens trophy held at Laos and brought home a silver. We are confident that the men’s team also will deliver a fabulous performance to bring home accolades and make us proud yet again.”Squad: Gautam Dagar (Captain), Nitin Dagar, Deepak Punia, Rakesh Lochab, Deepak Dagar, Vikas Khatri, Prince Khatri, Mohit Khatri, Neeraj Khatri, Akash Balmiki, Chhitaranjan Murmu.
